Marcellus Wiley, Former NFL Player and Husband of “RHOBH”’s Annemarie, Accused of Raping 2 Women While at Columbia University

Former NFL Player Marcellus Wiley Accused of Raping 2 Women at Columbia University

Former NFL player Marcellus Wiley has recently been accused of raping two women during his time at Columbia University in 1994. The allegations have surfaced in two separate lawsuits, with the most recent one being filed earlier this month in New York. Wiley, who is married to former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Annemarie Wiley, has denied the 2023 allegation and has not yet responded to the 2025 lawsuit.

The accusations against Marcellus Wiley are serious and disturbing, with the lawsuits alleging that he sexually assaulted two women inside the dormitories at Columbia University while he was a college football player there. The most recent lawsuit claims that Wiley raped a woman in his dorm room in late October 1994, while the initial lawsuit from 2023 alleges that he raped another woman in her dorm room less than a month later, in November 1994.

Marcellus Wiley’s attorney has not yet provided a response to the latest allegations, and the case is still ongoing. The plaintiff in the newer lawsuit described how she repeatedly said ‘no’ to Wiley’s advances before he allegedly overpowered her and raped her. The lawsuit further details the traumatic experience the woman went through and the emotional and physical damage she has suffered as a result of the assault.

The legal proceedings also involve Columbia University, with the lawsuit alleging that the school failed to address the reported incidents appropriately. The plaintiff’s attorneys claim that their client has endured long-lasting effects from the assault, including emotional trauma, career setbacks, and the need for ongoing medical care.

Marcellus Wiley, known for his career in the NFL playing for teams like the Buffalo Bills and the San Diego Chargers, has also been a prominent figure in sports media, working at ESPN and later as a co-host for the “Speak for Yourself” program on Fox Sports 1. His personal life, including his marriage to Annemarie Wiley and their children, has been overshadowed by these serious allegations.

The accusations against Marcellus Wiley are a stark reminder of the prevalence of sexual assault and the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions. It is crucial for survivors of assault to receive the support and justice they deserve, and for institutions to take proactive measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

As the legal process unfolds, the focus remains on the alleged victims and their pursuit of justice in the face of these disturbing allegations. It is a challenging and difficult time for all involved, and the outcome of the case will have significant implications for both Marcellus Wiley and the broader conversation around sexual assault and accountability.
